Dustless Stove Polish
Dear Aunt Daisy, I saw in The Listener, May 28th, an appreciation from a correspondent of the recipe for using bluestone on a black stove. I failed to see this recipe, and as the papers are, passed on out of my reach, would it be asking too much for a re-print? I need a dustless polish, and am not able to find one. "Stove," Papakuta. Here is the recipe for the dustless stove polish. Four cakes of blacklead, 2 cups of mineral turpentine; 1 tablespoon Jeyes fluid or ammonia, 1 dessert‘spoon crushed washing soda, 2 tablespoons floor polish, 20z. bluestone, very finely powdered. Mix in a tin and stir with a stick every time before using. Keep the lid on the tin when not in use, as the turpentine evaporates, When the stove is hot, the copper in the bluestone causes the blacking to be baked on the metal and so forms a permanent black enamel. ;
